All-pay-all Aspects of Political Decision Making

Thomas Giebe and Paul Schweinzer

No 4330, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: We study decision making processes with non-standard all-pay structures. We motivate this interest through a group of regulatory, political, legal, military, and economic applications where individual actions determine the consequences for a larger group or the public. The common features of these examples are a competitive environment, winner-take-all reward structure, and some form of all-pay-all payment rule.
